Add-on Terminal

The Terminal gives you direct shell access to your add-on's container without leaving the PipeOps dashboard. Use it to inspect files, check running processes, monitor resource usage, and perform administrative tasks.

Opening the Terminal

The Terminal button is available in the top-right corner of any add-on page, regardless of which tab is active. Click it to open the terminal as an overlay panel.

Once open, you'll see a welcome message confirming which pod you're connected to:

Welcome to PipeOps terminal!
Connecting to pod: snowy-pond-eternal-nova-production-0

A green Interactive Terminal indicator in the bottom-right corner of the panel confirms the session is active.

Selecting a Process

Use the Processes dropdown at the top of the terminal panel to switch between available pods (e.g. production-0). This is useful when your add-on runs multiple replicas and you need to target a specific instance.
